Selling weed next to the ’Weisers?

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C.’s largest public-sector union and an association representing private liquor stores want to capitalize on legal marijuana by selling B.C. bud alongside Budweiser.

However, a local private liquor-store owner is wary about security, while a Kamloops lawyer with decades of experience in liquor licensing said any sale of retail marijuana would have to go through zoning at city hall.

The B.C. Private Liquor Store Association and the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) held a press conference this week to call on government to steer recreational marijuana sales through government and private liquor stores.

It comes after the Trudeau government promised in its election platform to legalize recreational marijuana.

The partnership, called the Responsible Marijuana Retail Alliance of B.C., advocates for pot to be available in liquor stores by Christmas 2016.

Damian Kettlewell of the private liquor association — composed of more than 200 private liquor stores in the province — said they envision a system that is similar to beer and wine industries.

Producers of all sizes would sell their product to a central wholesaler at the liquor distribution branch, which would then distribute it to stores.

Kettlewell stressed the groups only want to sell recreational pot, not medical marijuana, so they don’t expect their proposal to impact existing medical dispensaries.

He added the federal government should follow in the footsteps of American states that have allowed residents to grow small amounts of marijuana at home for personal use —similar to home brewing.

“It makes obvious sense,” said Al Deacon, who operates a private liquor store in Sahali Mall, along with Fox’N Hounds Pub. “We sell three products now — alcohol, tobacco and lotteries — that are age restricted.

“With liquor stores, private or government, it’s a natural fit.”

But, another longtime pub and liquor store owner is wary.

“I’m worried about armed robbery,” said Duane Henning, who owns the Westsyder Liquor Store.

Henning said, unlike with booze, an armed robber could cart out $10,000 worth of product.

It would be a particular concern for clerks working at night, he added.

Deacon agreed there are security concerns but, based on his understanding of retailing in Washington state, he believes the issue can be overcome with security measures.

Kamloops lawyer Dennis Coates said city council will have the final say on marijuana sales, as it does with alcohol.

Coates said he is still coming around to the idea, but agreed control will be key.

“The logic of it is if you’re going to legalize it and set up a system, people like liquor store operators are experienced in control and paying taxes and running a business.”

Coates also noted there are similar calls in Ontario and Manitoba for sale through existing liquor outlets.

PARLIAMENT IS IN SESSION Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod began poring over the mandate letter from the Liberal government’s minister of Indigenous and Aboriginal Affairs as the first session of Parliament officially began yesterday.

McLeod is the Conservative government’s new Opposition critic for the portfolio.

She will scrutinize the department headed by Minister Carolyn Bennett.

“The mandate letter is public,” McLeod said.

“I’m reviewing her mandate letter. Next week, the full reports for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be released . . . We’re looking at her mandate and waiting to see where she takes the portfolio.”

The new Liberal government’s throne speech

is set for today and follows the election yesterday of Liberal Geoff Regan as speaker of the House of Commons.

Regan, 56, who represents the riding of Halifax West, was first elected in 1993, defeated in 1997 and re-elected in 2000.

He has served as MP ever since.

In the speaker election, Regan defeated fellow Liberal MPs Denis Paradis and Yasmin Ratansi and Conservative MP Bruce Stanton.

Regan is the son of former Nova Scotia premier and federal cabinet minister Gerald Regan. His wife Kelly is a member of the provincial legislature.

Conservative MP Andrew Scheer, who held the post since 2011, opted not to run again, choosing instead to serve as Opposition House leader.

One year later A year ago yesterday, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud (left) was shot during a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights.

The man accused of shooting Michaud begins a preliminary hearing on Monday.

Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read about Michaud’s recovery and the next steps in the court case.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED, HAVE YOU DOUBLED UP ON GIFTS TO YOUR CHILDREN? On March 31, 2014, British Columbia enacted new legislation that governs how a person’s Will is to be drafted and interpreted. One significant change is that gifts made to children during the will-maker’s lifetime are no longer considered to be an advance of that child’s inheritance.

TRACKING COSTS

An order by Transport Canada to post flaggers at the CP Rail crossing at Third Avenue downtown 24 hours a day has already cost the city more than $10,000 as it works to have the order rescinded.

The move stems from CP’s desire to have the city close Second and Third avenues to eliminate pedestrian traffic, a proposal city hall has rejected.

Take the following example of how the new law will be applied.

Frank leaves a will dividing his estate equally between his two children. Frank later helps one child, Lucky, with the down payment on a home but passes away before helping the second child. The gift to Lucky is not considered and Frank’s estate would be distributed equally between his two children.

Lucky has “double-dipped”. This result may be unfair and not what Frank had intended, causing family strife. To avoid this, Frank should have drafted his will to avoid this outcome. A qualified lawyer who understands the new legislation can help your estate avoid this scenario.

Water campaigner speaks tomorrow CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C.’s newly enacted water legislation requires an overhaul to enshrine basic rights, according to an activist who will speak tomorrow in Kamloops.

Emma Lui, the Council of Canadians national water campaigner, told KTW the B.C. Liberals’ Water Sustainability Act doesn’t go far enough.

“There needs to be principles, like water is a right, in legislation and recognition of indigenous title and water rights,” Lui said.

The new provincial act replaces the Water Act, which dates from 1909.

Lui said there are improvements in the new legislation, but argued three fundamental

principles are missing: water as a human right; recognition of First Nations rights; and water as a “public trust.”

In practice, she said, that would mean government has the right to manage water for people and communities first, rather than for industry and corporate interests.

Similarly, Lui said, enshrining water as a human right would include that it remains affordable.

“We wouldn’t be giving bottled water companies the right to water,” she said.

The group is also critical of retention of the first-in-time, firstin-right principle for groundwater that is dominant in the North American West.

Instead, Lui said, priority should be based on food production or community supply, for example.

Sofa & CHaiR 00 As low as $90 + tax

250. 554.3933

Nestle Waters Canada’s plant in Hope, which draws from an aquifer, came under criticism from advocates during this summer’s drought.

Under the new legislation, the company and other bottled water firms will pay $2.25 per million litres. Today, there is no cost.

Government calls that amount an access fee. It does not call it a royalty for fear of turning water into a commodity, which could bring it under purview of the North American Free Trade Act. Lui acknowledged some improvements could come next year as the province makes public the policies that will accompany the act.

Lui will speak tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Smorgasbord restaurant downtown, at Victoria Street and Seventh Avenue.

STUDENT SCORES EXCEED PROVINCIAL AVERAGE DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

This year’s Foundations Skills Assessment results show students in grades 4 and 7 in the KamloopsThompson school district are doing better than the provincial average.

In a report going

to board of education trustees on Monday, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding expectations (with provincial averages in brackets) showed Grade 4 reading at 78 per cent (67 per cent), writing at 82 per cent (69 percent) and numeracy at 70 per cent (64 per cent).

At the Grade 7 level,

reading was 76 per cent (63 per cent), writing at 86 per cent (70 per cent) and numeracy at 70 per cent (58 per cent).

Greater differences can be found by looking at the district’s aboriginal students, compared to the provincial aboriginal results.

In Grade 4 reading, the district reports 64 per cent

(49 per cent), writing is 74 per cent (51 per cent) and numeracy is 59 per cent (43 per cent).

At the Grade 7 level, the results are reading at 63 per cent (45 per cent), writing at 80 per cent (53 per cent) and numeracy at 57 per cent (34 per cent).

Districtwide, the above results are more closely

aligned with figures generated by the 2014 tests.

At the Grade 4 level, reading remained the same, writing increased one per cent and numeracy dropped five per cent.

At the Grade 7 level, reading dropped four per cent while writing and numeracy remained the same.

The gender breakout

showed differences, as well. At the Grade 4 level, male students had a 77 per cent success rate while females were one per cent higher. In writing, females were at 87 per cent, compared to 78 per cent for males.

In numeracy, male students had the higher rating at 72 per cent, compared to female students

at 67 per cent.

At the Grade 7 level, female students were at 79 per cent for reading, eight per cent higher than male students.

They were at 93 per cent for writing, compared to 77 per cent for males and in numeracy, they were at 72 per cent, compared to 66 per cent for male students.

BCAA dispatchers on strike since June CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The union representing locked out BCAA dispatchers claims the employer is putting members at risk in the winter season.

About 70 workers represented by Local 378 of the Canadian Office and

Professional Employees Union (COPE) have been off the job since June, when they were locked out by B.C. Automobile Association.

The union is seeking a new contract that gives dispatchers parity with other BCAA staff working 35 hours a week, rather than a 40-hour week for dispatchers.

Union president David

Black said motorist calls for assistance increase during winter and peak during storms, for example.

The call centre is being run by what is estimated to be about 16 managers.

“They [calls] do go up,” Black said.

“Even more worrisome for our members is the urgency of what’s at

stake goes up.

“If someone is on the Coquihalla and hits the rail or their battery goes — it’s one thing if it happens in September and another if it’s January.”

BCAA declined a request for an interview, instead emailing a statement.

It said road-assist managers and drivers continue to

serve members 24 hours a day.

“Our roadside-assistance service continues to operate effectively and service levels are high and comparable to before the labour dispute,” the statement said.

“Our automated phone technology has allowed even more efficient service for our members.”

The association said it locked out dispatchers when they threatened to disrupt call service. The two sides have not met in months, but said they are ready to talk. A mediator has been assigned to the labour dispute.

Black said dispatchers continue to insist on the same work hours as other BCAA employees.

SUSPECT CAUGHT ON CAMERA

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Thompson Rivers University Natural Resource Science professor Lauchlan Fraser speaks yesterday during a press conference announcing a Genome BC grant to Thompson Rivers University.

$250,000 to TRU for reclamation science DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s only been 53 years since scientists Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins won a Nobel Prize for their work identifying the structure of DNA. In the ensuing decades, the acid that is found in virtually all living organisms has expanded in understanding and can be found in other areas — including the planet’s biosystem, an area of study for Lauchlan Fraser.

The Thompson Rivers University professor sees a $250,000 grant TRU will receive from Genome B.C. as a key element in creating a school on campus dedicated to reclamation science.

The money, announced yesterday, is to be used to create an industrial research chair at TRU through the federal Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

Fraser said the goal is to grow research into “using modern genet-

ic tools to help solve environmental disturbances caused by mining, forestry and ranching and the challenges of restoration in the face of climate change.”

At its own core element, the work is to help create a healthier environment.

Fraser said he is already working with Genome B.C. on a research project centred around the Mount Polley tailings-pond collapse and the impact it had on the surrounding environment.

He has also partnered with Genome Canada to submit an $8.75-million grant application for other reclamation research that would use genomic tools to reclaim ecosystems.

TRU president Alan Shaver said Fraser’s research “is becoming more important locally and globally and the proposed centre is the next logical step at TRU.” Fraser is hoping the commitment will encourage other bodies — public and private — to also get involved to see the work continue.

Did you witness a motor vehicle accident on November 15, 2015 at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Highway 1 near Greenstone Road (near the Cherry Creek Store) where a black Ford pickup was forced off the road by a semi that had crossed the centre line? If you have any information about the accident, know of anyone who may be involved or is a witness themselves, please contact Scott Ellis at MJB Lawyers 250-374-3161 or email sbe@mjblaw.com.

In the afternoon of Saturday October 17th a lone male entered the Interior Crafts and Hobbies on Tranquille Rd. A store employee spoke to the male while he looked around the store. Well the employee was helping another customer, the suspect grabbed a toy “Blade MCP X BL” helicopter and left the store.

When the employee, realized what had happened the suspect had already departed the store and his direction of travel was unknown.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, 5 foot 9 inches tall, stocky build, dark beard, dark brown hair and at the time was wearing a blue winter jacket with a white zipper.

If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The temperature under the collars of many taxpayers after learning they will be paying much more to have their recyclables collected from their homes.

Kamloops council this week agreed to a two-year contract with Emterra Environmental, the company that now processes the city’s recyclables and the company that endured a strike by its workers this past summer.

The contract agreed to means the city will pay 84 per cent more per year than it is now paying — and it means homeowners will be covering the hike.

What is now a $33 per year cost will be $50 in the new year.

As Coun. Ken Christian noted, local taxpayers are at the maximum they can absorb as taxes and fees have risen consistently.

It is time to talk about reining in spending at city hall.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to have taxpayers cover the bill for nannies looking after his kids during his recent international government trips.

It is not a lot of money, but the principle is the same whether the PM is a Liberal, a Conservative or a New Democrat.

Trudeau campaigned on having the wealthy absorb more of the financial blow to give the middle class more breathing room.

Surely our prime minister — a self-described wealthy man — can and should pay child-care expenses out of how own pocket.

If nothing else, the optics would be improved.

Inconvenient truths

T

his week, Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak joined the thousands of jet-setters in Paris to once again stage negotiations for a global climate treaty.

The embarrassing failures of these United Nations events, such as the one in Lima, Peru, last year, have been forgotten.

Canadian TV only showed file images of an effigy of Stephen Harper receiving a “fossil of the day” award for his alleged failure to rein in Canada’s two per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.

This week, Justin Trudeau led our biggest-ever delegation to COP21, as the Paris meeting is called.

Trudeau hasn’t even begun to develop a plan for Canada, asking provinces to come up with their own first, but he’s already hailed as a visionary. This is similar to the newly elected Barack Obama, who modestly predicted in 2008 that history would record his win as “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Perhaps Obama wasn’t completely full of CO2 since, in this century, global temperatures have increased by only about onefourth of what UN climate models predicted.

This 20-year slowdown of the long run of post-Ice Age warming, which has dominated most of the last 10,000 years, is referred to as the “pause” or “hiatus.”

It is usually explained away with reference to the Pacific

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Decadal Oscillation or other longterm warming and cooling trends in oceans.

Other countries have put new emission-reduction proposals on the table for COP21. Danish environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg did the math and concluded that, if every major emitting country keeps its word this time, the total of all their efforts would reduce global warming by about 0.2 degrees by 2100.

What? A statistically meaningless decrease after 85 years of energy austerity? That Lomborg, he’s just a denier, trying to get more publicity.

Wait, here’s a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that finds the same thing — two-tenths of a degree by 2100.

Wobbly climate models aren’t the only problem for global warming alarmists.

NASA recently confirmed that, contrary to UN projections, total ice mass in Antarctica is increasing.

This is much more likely to slow sea level rise than an Obama

or Trudeau speech.

Arctic ice, meanwhile, is rebounding rapidly after receding in recent years. And, while UN climate conferences always cause a spike in sightings of people wearing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth: B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high.

That Crockford, she’s just a denier.

Wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List says that’s about right, that the population trend is no longer decreasing, but is now “unknown.”

None of this is to deny that our climate is warming or that the Industrial Revolution and carbonfuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are troubling.

B.C. already leads the country with its small but broad-based carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportunity.

We won’t see the B.C. Liberal government’s final Climate 2.0 plan until next spring, but the advisory committee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018.

Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold.

And, B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse-gas target? The government admits we’re not going to make that because the economy is growing. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LET’S THE CRA PLAYS THE ROLE OF GRINCH TALK DOCS IN OTTAWA Editor: Since hearing about Mayor Peter Milobar and Coun. Tina Lange going to Ottawa to voice concerns about the proposed Ajax mine, could they not also line up time to speak to the powersthat-be about our doctor shortage?

I realize we have walk-in clinics but, when it’s even hard to get into those and people have to resort to visiting the ER at Royal Inland Hospital when it’s not a life and death situation, we have a major problem.

Having family doctors who can follow and know their patient is a must.

Otherwise, we have to waste time repeating ourselves to each physician and they have no idea, nor can spare their precious time, trying to find out the patient’s history.

D. Czyzewski Kamloops

Editor: I am 70 years old and have paid income tax all my life.

It seems all us senior citizens are getting our annual Christmas present from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and it comes with a red ribbon on it.

It turns out it is not a Christmas present, but actually a reassessment of my income taxes that are dealt with by April 30 of the calender year.

My reassessment this year, which I just received while I was in the hospital getting surgery, states I owe $612.

At my age, it turns out, I miss

things once in a while.

The missed T3 investment form amount owed was $212. They penalize me for getting into my senior years and I need a lesson.

Upon phoning the CRA, they say they have legislation in place to back up the penalty payment on overdue income tax.

I am neither wealthy nor poor, but unhappy at the moment because of the power the CRA has to penalize me unfairly, without my knowledge, while interest accrues from April 30 through to November.

This is discrimination or a penalty

for growing old. At my age, it is easy to miss things.

We don’t have a great income in the senior years and this unfair legislation gives the CRA way too much power to be nasty and uncaring.

They want their money.

A much fairer system would reassess me, then send the reassessment to me, with the amount missed on the form — along with the form that was missed — and have a due date on it.

The penalty should start after the amount due date.

Ron Telford Kamloops

DECISION ON POACHING SHOULD BE APPEALED Editor: It was with dismay that I recently read of B.C. Provincial Court Judge Stella Frame’s misguided decision to stay charges against twice-convicted poacher Abe Dougan.

Dougan illegally killed a Dall sheep in the Yukon and, although Frame found him guilty, she inexplicably stayed the charges, effectively denying justice.

I have read in full the decision on guilt and the staying of charges.

Frame exaggerates the length of time taken when she writes that this “lingered on over all these years . . .”

In fact, the trial took

one year, spread over several court dates, to complete. The judge acknowledges both the Crown and defence contributed to delays.

In her ruling, Frame made light of the poaching incident, saying the sheep are not endangered and hunting of them is permitted.

I find it troubling that a judge could so badly confuse the real issue here.

This case was never about whether Dall sheep were endangered or whether Yukon residents people could legally hunt them.

It was about whether it is right for a British Columbia resident to come

to the Yukon, hunt illegally and take the trophy back to British Columbia.

In my reading of both decisions, I was struck by the judge’s apparent bias against the prosecution of this crime.

She clearly stated her bias when she wrote that “. . . the public was ill-served with this prosecution . . .” even though Dougan was found guilty of a serious crime.

Frame also stated in her decision that “Mr. Castagner [a Crown witness] did not attend to give evidence at trial. He is serving federal prison time.”

This assertion about Castagner is

absolutely false.

To clarify for Frame, illegal hunting is not right, we take it seriously in the Yukon and her actions and statements have made light of a serious problem.

In so doing, she undoubtedly encouraged other poachers to follow Dougan’s lead.

I respectfully ask the government to give serious consideration to appealing this verdict, for the sake of justice and for the sake of sending an appropriate message to all of those who might take the wrong message from this judge’s unfortunate mistakes.

See footage at kamloopsthisweek.com Kelly Norwood tests out a new downtown installation from Kamloops Makerspace and the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

The lights on the tree at Victoria Street and Second Avenue respond to vibrations from the acoustic guitar.

Moghaddam was able to whip up his own animated lights over a few days, with help from other local electronics and coding enthusiasts at the centre.

City arborists installed the final creation last week, where it will stay until at least the end of the Christmas holidays.

Each light on the tree can be programmed individually to change colours or flash on and off depending on information sent to them through sensors.

“You can attach it to any instrument,” Balali Moghaddam said.

“But, really, it just picks up vibration, so some people have been holding it up to their throat and playing it.

Some people have just been tapping it.”

To encourage musicians to play for continuous stretches of time, the pattern of the light speeds up and changes the longer someone is plugged into the system.

Balali Moghaddam is also hoping the project will inspire other

Kamloops creatives to check out Makerspace, with an eye to creating public displays of their own.

The group, located at 207 West Victoria St., hosts a drop-in session every Wednesday beginning at 5:30 p.m.

“If people have ideas, if they want to build things like this in the city, I can help them,” he said.

“If they have ideas they want to see actually happening, KCBIA are very keen on doing cool projects like this all over downtown.”

The tree at the corner of Second Avenue and Victoria Street already looks a little different from others in the downtown core.

Where the average tree is lit up with steady white Christmas lights, multi-coloured bulbs scroll along its branches.

It’s also the only tree downtown with an audio pickup hanging from its branches.

Plug in with an instrument — perhaps an acoustic guitar — and the lights on the tree explode into action, pulsing and swirling along its branches in time with the music.

“I am hoping they will come and play music here. That’s all I want. It will make me very, very happy,” said Aras Balali Moghaddam, the man behind the dancing lights.

The project began when the Kamloops Arts Council approached Balali Moghaddam, who specializes in custom electronics, to create an installation for its Lumière Lantern Festival in November, with help from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA).

A KCBIA employee mentioned having once seen a tree in another city with lights that responded to music — and a plan was born.

Using mainly tools and equipment from Kamloops Makerspace, a drop-in community workshop he helped found, Balali

Brothers Chyzowski to collide MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

J

olly Old St. Nick Chyzowski gave his younger brother, Ryan, a top-shelf present and received a lump of coal in return.

“We exchanged Christmas gifts one year and I got him a pretty cool video game and he got me this really stupid gift, this little Nerf ball that you couldn’t even kick because it was too hard,” Nick said with a laugh.

“I told him to his face that it was a horrible gift and he started crying. We made up after, though.

We were really young. ” Christmas comes early this year for the Chyzowski family, with Nick of the Kamloops Blazers and Ryan of the Medicine Hat Tigers, both forwards, set to square off at Sandman Centre tomorrow.

Game time is 7 p.m.

They will become the first brothers from Kamloops to play against each other in a WHL game in their hometown.

“We’ve been talking about it and joking around about it all week,” said Ryan, picked 17th overall by the Tigers in the bantam draft in May. “It’s a pretty big deal in our house right now.

“I’ll try and treat it like it’s any other game, but it’s a pretty big step and a cool experience to play in front of your hometown for the first time in the WHL and against my brother for the first time.”

There are a few disagreements in the Chyzowski household.

Ryan thought the Nerf ball was pretty cool. Father Dave said his wife will be more anxious watching their sons tomorrow, but Cindy objects— “He’ll be more anxious.

Definitely Dave,” she said. Ryan

Nick Chyzowski would like to be the one celebrating after his Kamloops Blazers play brother Ryan Chyzowski and the Medicine Hat Tigers tomorrow at Sandman Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. They will become the first siblings from Kamloops to play against each other in a WHL game in their hometown. RIGHT: Teddy Bear Night is tomorrow. Ryan (left) and Nick are pictured holding the types of stuffed animals that will be hurled to the ice when the Blazers score their first goal. Kamloops hosts Portland tonight. It’s Food Bank Night.

said Nick was the bigger troublemaker growing up, but the elder sibling said the opposite is true.

Nick also added his younger brother was known to be a ladies’ man at both Juniper Ridge elementary and Valleyview secondary.

There is widespread agreement in another area, though.

“They are best friends and they’re very close brothers,” said Dave, a former Blazer who is now the team’s director of sales and marketing.

“I don’t know who’s going to be more excited — Nick, excited for Ry to have an opportunity to come into our league, or Ryan, excited to

play against who I think is his hero and role model, Nick.”

The notorious gift exchange was but a blip on the radar in a relationship that improves each year, the shots jokingly taken at each other during interviews with KTW simply signs of affection.

“Ryan always put Nick on a

2015 CHEV SILVERADO 1500 X/CAB 4X4

pedestal and wanted to be Nick and Nick thinks Ry is the cat’s meow, which sometimes doesn’t happen in families,” said Cindy, who will be watching in the stands with a girlfriend tomorrow, while Dave whisks about the rink tending to his duties and keeping one eye on the action.

(If luxury-suite clients aren’t as well attended to as usual, cut the guy some slack.)

“They had the whole love-hate thing going on when they were younger. They’ve become very, very close and supportive,” Cindy said.

Ryan and Nick have never played hockey against each other, outside of games on the road and in the basement — “The games inside the house, mom didn’t really like that,” said Nick, the Blazers’ second-round pick in the 2012 bantam draft.

So, for whom are the parents rooting?

“I’m a Blazer fan, I’m alumni and I work for the team and, even if I didn’t work for the team, I’d still want the Blazers to win,” said Dave, who registered 144 points in 138 regular-season WHL games with Kamloops and was picked second overall by the New York Islanders in the 1989 NHL Draft.

Countdown on for Hockey Day ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In two months, Kamloops will become the centre of the hockey world.

Organizers, dignitaries and hockey celebrities gathered at the Sandman Centre’s Parkside Lounge yesterday afternoon to announce details for Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada, a four-day event which is set to take over the Tournament Capital from Feb. 3 to Feb. 6.

“It was a special spot to a lot of us young guys,” said former Kamloops Blazer and 15-year NHL veteran Darcy Tucker, who spoke via video and conference call.

“That rink was packed. To have a fan base like that, that was cheering that loud every night, you don’t get that in every junior market.”

Tucker will be one of a number of hockey greats to visit Kamloops during the four-day celebration of Canada’s game.

Wendel Clark, Lanny McDonald, Mark Recchi, Trevor Linden, Wade Redden, Corey Hirsch, Kirk McLean, Bryan Trottier and Cassie CampbellPascall are expected to be on hand for the festivities and a number of them will play in the WHL’s 50th anniversary Pro Am Alumni Game on Feb. 4 at Sandman Centre.

TV personalities Ron MacLean and Don Cherry will also be in the city to host a number of events, including a live edition of Coach’s Corner on Feb. 6.

The theme of Kamloops’ rendition of Hockey Day, the 16th, is teamwork. Organizers expect it to be one of the most publicized and promoted events the Tournament Capital has ever seen.

Hockey Day will feature events throughout Kamloops and surrounding areas, beginning with opening ceremonies at Sun Peaks Resort on Feb. 3. MacLean will host the event and will be joined by NHL alumni and the Stanley Cup.

Blazers GM Stu MacGregor speaks at the Hockey Day in Canada press conference yesterday.

On Feb. 4, the day will begin with a celebrity luncheon at the Tournament Capital Centre, which is expected to sell 1,000 tickets. Trevor Linden will deliver a keynote speech and Cherry and MacLean will be in attendance.

The day will wrap up with the WHL’s alumni game at Sandman Centre.

Feb. 5 kicks off with a free breakfast at the Tournament Capital Centre, highlighted by appearances from the Memorial Cup and Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup will make visits to district schools in the afternoon.

The evening will feature The Music of Hockey, hosted by MacLean at the Sandman Centre.

The $5-concert includes commissioned songs from six Canadian songwriters and organizers heralding it as the “point where music and hockey collide.”

Feb. 6 is Hockey Day, which begins at 9 a.m. with Sportsnet’s broadcast. Interviews and Coach’s Corner will provide interludes throughout the day, while a road hockey tournament takes over Lorne Street and a pancake breakfast occupies the plaza outside Sandman Centre.

The television broadcast will include NHL games between

Edmonton and Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, Winnipeg and Colorado and Calgary and Vancouver.

The Thompson Blazers will play a B.C. Major Midget League game against the Kelowna-based Okanagan Rockets before the Kamloops Blazers and Edmonton Oil Kings play in an evening matchup at Sandman Centre.

A number of hockey clinics will also take place over the four days.

2016 will be the Kamloops Blazers’ second year of involvement with Hockey Day. The club also participated in 2011, travelling to Whitehorse to play a regular season game against the Vancouver Giants.

“To bring it home to Kamloops was very important to us,” said Blazers general manager Stu MacGregor.

It will be a homecoming, too, for many of those involved in the event.

“It’s the 16th one, which is close to my heart,” said Tucker, who wore No. 16 in Kamloops and has since seen the jersey retired.

“I’m proud to be coming back to Kamloops.”

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was no coincidence the Kamloops Storm played seven of 10 games on the road in November.

In fact, the scheduling quirk was at the request of Storm head coach Ed Patterson and assistant coach Kyle Panasuk.

“Kyle and I talked about lack of adversity for our team the last couple years and thought that was our downfall,” Patterson said. “So, we wanted to create that adversity for our club early on in the season and, hopefully, build on it from there.

“We kind of did that on purpose, but we were very proud of how the guys, overall, handled everything.”

Kamloops finished the month of November with a 6-30-1 record, recording at least a point in seven of 10 contests.

It’s an impressive stretch considering opponents included some of the top teams in the Kootenay Conference in the Kimberley Dynamiters (21-3-03), the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (16-7-1-1) and the Fernie Ghostriders (15-9-0-2).

The Storm’s only losses of the month came against the firstplace Dynamiters and divisional rivals in the Chase Heat and Revelstoke Grizzlies. The Storm also recorded an overtime loss against the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

What’s more is the club played somewhat shorthanded.

Starting goaltender Tavin Grant is out with a lower-body injury and isn’t expected to return until the new year.

In relief, backup Spencer Eschyschyn has played to a 9-6 record, a 2.27 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.

Leading goal-scorer Tre Sales has spent some time in the stands, too, recovering from an upper-body injury, as have forward Jackson Lee (lower body)

and defenceman Adam Toor (upper body).

“For going through a couple injuries and the flu bug and all that kind of stuff and having 21 rookies on our team, I was very impressed with how the boys handled the ups and downs and, more so, how they responded after each failure,” Patterson said of the trip.

The Storm have been helped, too, by a few new bodies.

Forward Keaton Gordon, who was a big part of Kamloops’ run to the championship final last season, has returned to the club from junior A and has nine points, including a goal, in eight games.

Zackari Andrusiak has been virtually unstoppable since coming to the Storm in a Nov. 12 trade with the North Okanagan Knights, notching 18 points, including 11 goals, in eight games. He’s already third in team scoring.

One of the best defensive teams in the KIJHL — they’ve surrendered an eighth-best 67 goals — the Storm’s offence is improving.

They averaged 3.4 goals per game in the month of November, up from three the month prior.

Now in December, a month in which the Storm will play a schedule balanced between home and road play, divisional action will be of special importance. Of their eight games this month, Kamloops will play two against 100 Mile House, two against Chase and two against Revelstoke.

The action gets underway tonight in 100 Mile House against the Wranglers. The team will head to Chase to face the Heat tomorrow, before returning to Kamloops to again play the Wranglers on Sunday.

Patterson has told his team to think of December as an inseason playoff series.

“We told the boys, ‘We’ve lost in Game 6 two years in a row, we’re not losing in it again. If we do lose in Game 6, it’s going to be early in December. We’re going to learn from it,’” he said.

The puck drops at 5 p.m. on Sunday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

I have a Medicine Hat sweatshirt and a Blazers’ T-shirt,” Cindy said. “I just don’t want anybody to get hurt and I want them to have fun.

“I really want the Blazers to score at least once, so everybody can throw the Teddy Bears on the ice.”

As Cindy noted, as her marketing-director husband will surely appreciate, Teddy Bear Toss night is tomorrow.

More FIFA arrests THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — As members of FIFA’s executive committee prepared to vote on reforming soccer’s scandal-plagued governing body, Swiss government agents swept into a luxury hotel before dawn for a second wave of arrests on corruption charges in the wake of another sweeping indictment by U.S. prosecutors.

Five current and former members of FIFA’s ruling executive committee were among 16 additional men charged with bribes and kickbacks in a 92-count indictment unsealed Thursday that took down an entire generation of soccer leaders in South America, a bedrock of FIFA and World Cup history.

“The betrayal of trust set forth here is truly outrageous,’’ U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

“The scale of corruption alleged herein is unconscionable.’’

Led away by Swiss federal police at Zurich’s Baur au Lac hotel were Juan Angel Napout of Paraguay, president of the South American confederation (CONMEBOL), and Alfredo Hawit of Honduras, head of the North and Central American and Caribbean governing body (CONCACAF).

The arrests — at the same hotel where initial raid occurred in May — came just before FIFA’s executive committee met to approve reform and transparency measures long resisted by soccer’s top leaders but ones that gained traction in the aftermath of the scandal.

Rafael Callejas, Honduras’ president from 1990-94, was indicted, as was Hector Trujillo, a judge on Guatemala’s constitutional Court.

Also among those charged was Ricardo Teixeira, the president of Brazilian soccer from 1994-2012. Teixeira is a former son-in-law of

Joao Havelange, who was FIFA’s president from 1974-98. In addition, guilty pleas were unsealed for former CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb and former executive committee member Luis Bedoya.

The 236-page indictment was handed up by a grand jury in New York on Nov. 25.

Eleven current and former members of FIFA’s executive committee have been charged in the investigation, which alleges hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal payments. The last three presidents of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL have been indicted.

“The message from this announcement should be clear to every culpable individual who remains in the shadows, hoping to evade this ongoing investigation: You will not wait us out and you will not escape our focus,’’ Lynch said.

Fourteen men were charged in May, when four additional guilty

Cassel takes reins SCHUYLER DIXON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas — Dallas quarterback Matt Cassel has been a backup twice this year and a starter twice — three times if you count taking the first snap of the season for Buffalo before he was traded for the second time in five months.

Got all that? Cassel does. He thinks.

“It’s about as crazy as you could possibly get,’’ Cassel said, noting that the move to the Cowboys after Tony Romo’s first collarbone injury in September came with his wife just weeks from giving birth to their fourth child.

“At the same time, I think that this lifestyle, you have to embrace the craziness of it.’’

The Cowboys (3-8) haven’t embraced it so well, losing all seven games that Romo missed the first time and now facing the rest of season without him after he broke his left collarbone for the second time in a 33-14 Thanksgiving loss to Carolina.

Cassel started four of those losses without Romo after Brandon Weeden lost the first three. The 33-year-old Cassel replaced Romo

after the third-quarter injury against the Panthers and threw a touchdown pass with the game out of reach.

Now instead of starting while everyone waited for Romo to get back, Cassel’s in the same spot he was eight years ago in New England — replacing a franchise quarterback the rest of the season.

“I understand what you are saying you are just holding down the fort,’’ Cassel said. “I try not to think of it that way when you are playing because you’ve got show these guys that you are going to be assertive, you are going to be a leader out on the field.’’

Plus, there’s one big difference.

Tom Brady injured a knee in the 2008 opener for the Patriots, who went on to an 11-5 record and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

The only reason Dallas can still talk post-season is because no team in the NFC East is above .500 and the Cowboys play co-leader Washington (5-6) twice, with the first matchup on the road Monday night.

“I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised,’’ Cassel said. “There are a lot seasons you go 3-8 and you have no shot at all.’’

In Loving Memory Of

STUART WESLEY BATES October 10, 1925 – November 26, 2015 Stu was born and grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Even as a young boy he was a hard worker and had after school and weekend jobs. Through his various jobs he learned the skills and knowledge that would keep him busy throughout his life. Stu could fix small engines, build wooden boats, put in the electrical and plumbing systems in a house, design and build furniture and he also loved to garden. Stu served in the Canadian Navy during 1944-45 on the Corvette H.M.C.S. Lachute which was part of the escort conveys between Canada and England during the war. When he was discharged at the end of the war he completed his high school education and eventually joined the RCMP in 1946 and was stationed in Whitehorse, Yukon in 1948. Stu met Ann Clendening in 1949 in Whitehorse, while she was working in the hotel to earn money for art school in New York City. They were married in 1952 and both children were born in the Yukon. They left the north in 1956 when Stu was transferred to Swift Current, Saskatchewan. After a couple of more moves he retired from the force in 1965. The family settled in Kamloops when Stu got a job with the BC Forest Service. He worked in the Regional and District offices and retired in 1986. Stu was never still for long and continued to be active hiking in the mountains, skiing, paddling down rivers in the canoes he made well into his 80’s. Stu and Ann moved up to Clearwater in 2001 where he died suddenly on November 26, 2015.

Stu leaves behind Ann, his wife of 63 years, son Wes, daughter Abbey, granddaughter Rae (Mark Galante) and three great-granddaughters Rose, Suzanna and Eliza, nephew Jim Doak and two nieces Kathy Merideth and Margie Caparra.

Stu’s wishes are to be cremated. There will be no services at this time. The family will be having a Celebration of Life for Stuart in the spring.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital for their care and kindness. Donations in memory of Stuart may be made to the Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital Equipment fund, 640 Park Drive, Clearwater, BC. V0E 1N1.

Celebration of Life DALE BRIAN SMITH

September 27, 1958 - November 4, 2015

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Fraternal Order of Eagles, 755 Tranquille Road in Kamloops on Sunday, December 6, 2015 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm Family and Friends welcome.

Rev. Paul Greuter June 29, 1924 - Nov. 27, 2015.

Rev. Father Paul Gerard Maria Greuter was born in 1924 in Amsterdam, Holland, the 11th of 16 children to Theodore and Agatha Greuter.

Having followed the inspiration to become a Catholic priest, he applied for Canada after World War II, partly because of the influence of Canadian soldiers who spoke of life in Canada, and he left his native Holland for good in 1948, entering the seminary near Edmonton. In 1954, he was ordained for the Diocese of Calgary.

Father was posted in various towns of that diocese, but retired early in order to be faithful to the priesthood of his ordination, which was being changed with the Second Vatican Council.

He then moved to Vernon, BC, and spent 30 more years there, restoring the faith of many Catholics who had become hard-pressed to find a traditional Catholic priest.

During those years, he took care of a scattered flock throughout the interior of BC with determination, no matter the obstacle.

In 2002, he handed on his legacy to the Society of St. Pius X priests, and left Our Lady Queen of Peace Church (37th) in Vernon to “retire” to the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Nanaimo (on Jingle Pot Road).

His real retirement only came at the age of 89, when he could no longer keep up physically, although he always kept his wit and sense of humour.

He was well-loved and looked after by his faithful, old and young, and was a particular influence on a number of vocations.

On the 27th of November 2015, his good heart finally gave up at the age of 91, leaving behind sisters, Nell Kok in Port Moody, and Theresa Spit in Amsterdam, Holland, along with numerous nieces and nephews and many spiritual children in Christ.

• Prayers will be at Sands Funeral Home on Dec. 8th at 7pm. • The Solemn Sung Latin Requiem Mass, at Sands Funeral Chapel, Dec. 9th at 11am. • The Traditional Burial Rite follows the Requiem Mass at the Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. • A reception follows at the Sands Funeral Home.

The celebrant of the Requiem will be Fr. Daniel Couture, District Superior of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in Canada, as well as a number of priest friends, including the District Superior of the Society in the USA, Fr. Jurgen Wegner.

Obituaries & In Memoriam KATHLEEN HELEN SIEMENS

LORNE BRUCE COXSON

LORE DOMINIK December 10, 1928 – November 26, 2015

Kathy was born to the late Steve and Helen Tessovitch on January 23, 1945 in The Pas, Manitoba. Her family moved to Prince George in 1955. Kathy graduated from the Royal Inland Hospital School of Nursing diploma program in 1966. She worked her nursing career at PGRH (UHNBC) and was respected and cherished by her co-workers in the Operating Room as a nurse, and also as the head of the OR morale and decorating committee.

With deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of Lorne Coxson on Monday, November 30th at the age of 70 years.

Lorne is survived by his loving wife of 50 years Ruth, son Greg Coxson (Paula) of Calgary, daughter Carrie Vossler (Darryl) of Kamloops and grandson Benjamin Coxson of Medicine Hat. He also leaves his brother Glen Coxson (Ruth) of Lumby, sister Joanne Thompson (Matt) of Kamloops, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Kathleen Helen Siemens peacefully passed away on November 29th, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home after a short battle with cancer.

Kathy will be lovingly remembered by the second love of her life, Lothar Schaus, daughters Melanie Blake (Brent), Natalie West (Kelly), grandson Dayton West, brother Ken Tessovitch (Delda), and brother-in-law, Bob Harvey. She will be sadly missed by numerous family members, friends, and acquaintances – she touched everyone she met with her happy and cheerful way. Kathy was predeceased by her husband Dave Siemens, and her sister Gail Harvey.

Kathy was a memorable lady who enjoyed family and friends, reading, travelling, and Purdy’s chocolates.

Her wishes were for a Celebration of Life to be held in the summer of 2016.

Donations to your local food bank are a preferred means of honouring Kathy’s life.

GERALD DUPUIS 1961 - 2015

It is with grieving hearts that we announce Gerald Loren Henry Dupuis lost his battle with cancer on November 29, 2015. Gerald was born on September 24, 1961 in Kaslo, BC. He grew up in Nakusp, BC before his family decided to settle in Kamloops. Gerald was well known around Westsyde by his nickname Dupe. He was a logging truck operator for many years and enjoyed taking his dog Schmoo on his long journeys. You would often see him on Sundays watching NASCAR and football with his buddies, enjoying life at its fullest.

Gerald was predeceased by his father Arthur. He is survived by his mother Rose, wife Beverly, son Craig (Sara), daughter Alexis and grandchildren Wyatt, Greyson and Rayden. Also left to cherish his memory are his brothers and sisters, Dolores (Joe), Adrian (Judy), Albert (Diane), Denise (Gary), Larry (Connie), Shirley (Roy) and Alan as well as many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Gerald at the Westsyder Neighbourhood Pub, 3369 Westsyde Rd., Kamloops, on Saturday, December 12, 2015 from 1-3 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, it is asked that donations be made in Gerald’s memory to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

In Loving Memory Of ED KASHLUBA November 23, 1927 - December 5, 2000

Lore was born in her beloved home town of Rummelsburg, Pomerania, Germany on December 10, 1926, and spent, as she described it, “a happy, trouble-free childhood, filled with a love of nature, books, art, and especially a great love of music.” In post-war Berlin, Lore enjoyed the rich cultural life around her while employed in such diverse trades as carriage building, hand weaving and secretarial work. Her passion for learning, which she maintained throughout her life, found an outlet in night school, where she completed her interrupted education and where she met her future husband, Reinhold, whom she married in 1954. In 1956 she and Reinhold emigrated to Canada, finally settling in Kamloops. They raised four daughters, and Lore became a dedicated homemaker.

Lore was a great music lover and music maker. As a girl she played the accordion and the recorder. Later in Berlin she studied piano and sang in choirs.

In Kamloops she sang with the Bel Canto choir. In the late 1960’s she took up the cello, joining the dedicated contingent of Kamloops musicians who commuted bi-weekly to the Okanagan to play with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. She was a founding member of the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, with which she played for many years.

Gardens and gardening were another of Lore’s life-long passions. Her work yielded a bountiful harvest, and her colourful flower garden was an oasis in the hot Kamloops summers. She modelled a regard for all living things, rescuing struggling insects from ponds, halting her work to grant safe passage to frogs, toads, earthworms and other small creatures, carefully removing strays from the house.

A former member of the Kamloops Arts and Crafts Club as well as of the Weavers Guild, Lore built on the skills of her early years as a weaver’s apprentice through workshops, mentoring, and practice on her looms at home.

Lore passed away quietly on November 26th after living with Parkinson’s disease for many years. She was predeceased by her husband Reinhold and sister Ursula. She will be deeply missed by her family: daughters Sabine “Sandy” Day (Jim), Kathrine, Annette, Barbara (Steven Rogak); grandson Dean and granddaughters Thea and Pippa; her niece Bettina Wolfmueller; her lifelong friends Bruni Kulagina and Christa Thorau; her goddaughter Marianne Thorau; close friend Ted Smith, and many other family members and friends. Lore’s daughters would like to thank the staff at Overlander Extended Care Facility for their care and kindness. At Lore’s request, no funeral service will be held. In memory of Lore, please consider making a donation to the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness.

We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.

And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

FAITH

Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead?

I

n my previous column (‘Tough to believe everything you read — even in the Bible,’ Nov. 6) I declared that, in light of numerous biblical passages, “Christians have no option but to renounce the teaching of modern science and declare by faith the earth is flat.”

I further pointed out that, according to Scripture, the earth does not move.

Instead, the sun and moon follow “circuits” over a stationary Earth, which rests on pillars.

Not surprisingly, some readers reacted strongly and indignantly, one calling my work “drivel” and another portraying me as “pontificating.”

Given the almost universal belief in a spherical Earth, most Christians who consider the matter feel

MICHAEL FENEMORE

You Gotta Have

FAITH

compelled to claim the biblical flat-Earth statements are open to interpretation.

Typical responses are, “The Bible is not a science textbook” and “God was not concerned with the archaic beliefs of the Bible’s authors entering the text.”

The problem with these seemingly enlightened opinions is that most churches subscribe to faith statements that leave no room for

such vagueness.

Hundreds of denominations believe in the “verbal plenary” inspiration of Scripture.

This means they deem the Bible “inerrant” — totally free of error.

They believe every single word of the original biblical documents was given directly by God through the Holy Spirit.

Various versions of this position are published by most Kamloops Baptist churches (First, Summit Drive, Dallas/Barnhartvale, Westsyde, Berean and Bridge).

To this list we can add Alliance, Full Gospel, Christ Community, Nazarene, Westsyde Gospel, Vineyard, Bible Truth, SeventhDay Adventist and Valleyview Bible.

No doubt there are more.

This amounts to a lot of Christians.

So, when the prophet Samuel confidently declares,“The pillars of the Earth are the Lord’s and on them he has set the world” (1 Sam. 2:8b), what are all these Christians to do?

If they claim it was merely a common belief of the author’s era creeping into the text, they do violence to their rigid faith statements.

Granted, the Bible is not a science textbook but, if every word was inspired

by God, it would still need to be scientifically accurate.

Ultimately, the inerrancy camp is stuck with the literal meaning of the text — an immovable, flat Earth resting on pillars, with the sun and moon circling

overhead.

So, regarding members of the churches listed above, I stand by my statement that they “have no option but to renounce the teaching of modern science and declare by faith that the earth is flat.”

I invited Kamloops pastors to leave a comment online at kamloopsthisweek. com/faith-dontbelieve-everythingyou-read-even-inthe-bible, stating their positions regarding the Bible’s flat Earth.

As of this writing, not one has responded.

Other Christians, evidently aware the verbal-plenaryinspiration doctrine is untenable, choose a more nuanced approach.

In a Nov. 13 letter to the editor, Paul Corcoran wrote: “God did not give writers of the Bible a scientific knowledge of the universe. Rather, he/she inspired them with an understanding of God’s relationship with them.”

Corcoran has pretty well rendered the Bible useless for establishing anything — specifically doctrine.

It might be useful for occasional inspiration, but lots of books are good for that.

Corcoran’s wishywashy approach lowers the Bible to the level of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which

may be a good book, but it isn’t the word of God. If all the verses I quoted referring to an immovable, flat Earth are untrustworthy, unscientific errors, the obvious question is: What else in the Bible is bunk?

Should we dismiss the Genesis creation account, too?

Did the Israelites really walk through the Red Sea? Do we jettison the miracles of Jesus?

And, if the authors failed so miserably at science, who’s to say they were any better at history?

Did Jesus really rise from the dead?

Obviously, the Bible is quickly decimated with Corcoran’s nuanced approach.

This is why so many denominations tenaciously cling to the verbal-plenaryinspiration doctrine.

They know that if a single word of the original Bible autographs is erroneous, all Scripture must be called into question and it becomes impossible to establish doctrine.

Imagine trying to manage even a small church in which members believe whatever they like.

What would be the point of even planting such a congregation in the first place?

What would unite the members?

No, the evangelicals will never adopt such an approach. It

would be suicide.

So, both views, the rigid position on inspiration and the looser approach, have fatal flaws.

Those subscribing to the vague, opento-interpretation view can continue with their watered-down Bible, gleaning whatever they want from it.

However, the verbal-plenary-inspiration Christians are clearly saddled with a stationary, flat Earth resting on pillars — no interpretation required.

Again, I invite all pastors who believe in the inerrancy of Scripture to make statements on the KTW website, clarifying their positions regarding the biblical flat Earth.

NATIONAL NEWS

Premier Clark says ‘fix or fold’ Senate JOAN BRYDEN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Premier Christy Clark said B.C. will not participate in the newly announced process to appoint members to the upper chamber.

Clark said the changes don’t resolve the Senate’s failure to represent British Columbians or address provincial concerns at the national level. She called for the Senate to be “fixed or folded,’’ noting B.C. should not be distracted by it.

The Trudeau government unveiled yesterday its plan for transforming the Senate into an independent, non-partisan chamber — the first major reform to the scandalplagued upper house in 50 years and arguably the biggest change since its inception in 1867.

Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef announced the creation of an arm’s-length advisory board to consult widely and recommend to the prime minister a short list of five merit-based nominees to fill each vacancy in the Senate.

She also released the criteria the advisory board will use to assess potential candidates.

Among other things, they will need to have a record of achievement and public service, show integrity, understand the role of the Senate and demonstrate an ability to contribute to the work of the Senate in an independent and non-partisan manner.

However, past partisan activities will not automatically disqualify someone from being nominated.

As well, the board is instructed to consider nominees “with a view to achieving gender balance’’ and to give priority consideration to nominees who represent indigenous people, linguistic, ethnic and other minority communities.

“I believe this new process will immediately begin to restore the confidence of Canadians in an institution that plays a vital role in our democracy,’’ Monsef said.

“It brings real change to the

Senate for the first time in decades.’’

The advisory board will consist of three federal members and two adhoc members from the province in which each vacancy occurs. Monsef said the members will be named by the end of the year.

Initially, the board will be tasked with recommending nominees to fill five vacancies in the provinces that are currently most under-represented in the Senate: two from Ontario, two from Manitoba and one from Quebec. Those are to be filled by early next year, after the board consults “broadly’’ with local community groups, aboriginal groups, elected leaders and others.

Another 17 vacancies are to be filled by the end of 2016. For those appointments and all others in future, the board’s consultation process will be expanded, including allowing individual Canadians to apply for a Senate appointment.

Government House leader Dominic LeBlanc said one of the first five new senators will be named as the government’s representative in the Senate. That role, heretofore known as the government leader in the Senate, is necessary under existing Senate rules in order to introduce government bills in the chamber and shepherd them through the legislative process.

All the rules governing the Senate are geared to having a governing party caucus and an opposition party caucus. It will be up to the Senate itself to eventually rewrite its rules to reflect the more non-partisan nature of the chamber envisioned by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, LeBlanc said.

In the meantime, however, Trudeau has appointed Sen. George Furey, a Liberal, to be the new speaker. Furey replaces Conservative Leo Housakos.

Trudeau started the process toward a less partisan Senate two years ago when he removed all senators, including Furey, from the Liberal caucus. They have been sitting as independent Liberals since then.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The two attackers who killed 14 people in a rampage at a banquet fired as many as 75 rifle rounds at the scene, left behind three rigged-together pipe bombs with a remote-control device that apparently malfunctioned and had more than 1,600 more bullets with them when they were gunned down in their SUV, authorities said yesterday.

At their home, they had 12 pipe bombs, tools for making more such explosives and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said in a grim morning-after inventory that suggested Wednesday’s bloodbath could have been far bloodier.

Syed Rizwan Farook, a 28-year-old county restaurant inspector, and his wife or fiancee, Tashfeen Malik, 27, slaughtered 14 people and seriously wounded more than a dozen others in the attack at a socialservice centre for the disabled after he slipped away from an employee banquet he was attending there.

The couple was gunned down hours later and a few miles away in a furious shootout with police.

As the FBI took over the investigation, authorities yesterday were trying to learn why the couple left behind their sixmonth-old daughter and went on the rampage — the nation’s deadliest mass shooting since the Newtown, Conn., school tragedy three years ago that left 26 children and adults dead.

At the White House, President Barack Obama said after meeting with his national security team that it was “possible this was terrorist-related,’’ but that authorities were unsure.

He raised the possibility it was a workplace dispute or that mixed motives were at play.

Law-enforcement experts said investigators may well conclude the killers had more than one motivation.

Farook was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani family, was raised in Southern California and had

“

They came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission.

”

— SAN BERNARDINO POLICE CHIEF JARROD BURGUAN

been a San Bernardino County employee for five years, according to authorities and acquaintances.

Burguan said he had no information on Malik’s background. Relatives said Farook had travelled to Saudi Arabia to meet his wife.

Police and federal agents for a second day searched a home in neighbouring Redlands, about seven miles from the massacre at the Inland Regional Center.

Investigators didn’t immediately say if the couple had lived there. Public records show it may be the home of a Farook family member.

Residents told KABC-TV Redlands is a sleepy town and expressed shock the killers might be their neighbours.

The attackers invaded the centre about 60 miles east of Los Angeles at about 11 a.m., opening fire in a conference area county health officials had rented for an employee banquet.

Farook attended the banquet, then left and returned with murderous intent.

“They came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission,’’ Burguan said.

Co-worker Patrick Baccari said he was sitting at the same table as Farook, who suddenly disappeared. Baccari said when the shooting started, he took refuge in a bathroom and suffered minor wounds from shrapnel slicing through the wall.

The shooting lasted about five minutes, he said. When he looked in the mirror, he realized he was bleeding.

“If I hadn’t been in the bathroom, I’d probably be laying dead on the floor,’’ he said.

Cabbage Rolls & Perogie Sale The Ukrainian Women’s Association is taking orders for homemade cabbage rolls & perogies.

Call Bella at (250) 376-9680 to place an order.

Baccari described Farook as reserved and said he showed no signs of unusual behaviour.

Earlier this year, he travelled to Saudi Arabia, was gone for about a month and returned with a wife, later growing a beard, Baccari said.

The couple dropped off their daughter with relatives Wednesday morning, saying they had a doctor’s appointment, Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said after talking with family.

“We don’t know the motives.

Is it work, rage-related? Is it mental illness? Is it extreme ideology? At this point, it’s really unknown to us, and at this point it’s too soon to speculate,’’ Ayloush said.

Co-workers told the Los Angeles Times Farook was a devout Muslim, but didn’t talk about religion at work.

Farhan Khan, who is married to Farook’s sister, told reporters he last spoke to his brother-inlaw about a week ago. Khan condemned the violence and said he had “absolutely no idea’’ why Farook would kill.

Seventeen people were wounded, according to authorities. As of yesterday morning, two patients were listed in critical condition.

About four hours after the late-morning carnage, police hunting for the killers riddled a black SUV with gunfire in a shootout two miles from the social services centre in this Southern California city of 214,000 people.

Farook and Malik were found with assault rifles and semiautomatic handguns and were wearing “assault-style clothing’’ with ammunition attached, authorities said.

Three explosive devices — all connected to one another — were found at the social services centre, police said.

Federal authorities said the two assault rifles and two handguns used in the violence had been bought legally, but they did not say how and when they got into the attackers’ hands.

From that incident, and several others at the same time involving white neo-Nazi groups beating up others, came the twoperson play about a skinhead charged with murder who is assigned a Jewish legalaid lawyer.

Glen Cairns plans to bring the two-actor play to Kamloops early next year, calling it “the kind of play that needs to be done . . . an unblinking examination of hatred, the explosive effect it has on our society and the hurdles that confront us as we set about eradicating it.”

It will be the first production from the new theatre troupe Cairns is creating, one he calls simply The Other Theatre Company.

Cairns, a Kamloops native, returned to the city earlier this year after spending more than four decades touring the world as a professional actor, director, playwright and artistic director.

“I’m too young to retire and too old to stay out on the road,” he said.

“And I’ve reached an age where, for many reasons, it makes sense

wouldn’t program or, given the finite nature of resources, couldn’t afford to program.

“The Other Theatre Company will augment and enhance the type of theatre experiences already available to local artists and audiences, and will bridge the gap between aspiring professional artists and established professional artists through mentorship and through the cooperative production of professional standard, alternative theatre.”

Showtimes are 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays.

Ticket prices are $20 and $15 for seniors and students. The matinees are pay-what-you-can.

Shoe memorial at St. Andrew’s Sunday An annual collection of shoes that are put on public display every Dec. 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, returns on Sunday.

Each pair of The Shoe Memorial represents a victim, but their link to tragedies ends when they are donated to the city’s women’s shelters for someone to walk in, to move forward.

A link online, shoememorial.com/inmemory, contains a list of murdered women in Canada dating back to a murder in Penticton in 1979.

The list has 3,296 names.

Shoe donations can be dropped off in advance at Runners Sole, 1395 Hillside Dr., Classic FX, 556 Tranquille Rd., Son Mai Spa, 459 Lansdowne St., the downtown YMCA-YWCA, 400 Battle St., and at

Community

BRIEFS Lo-Boy Market, 459 Tranquille Rd. On Sunday, the shoes will be on display at St. Andrews on the Square, at Seymour Street and Second Avenue, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Speakers will take the podium at 2:15 p.m.

For more information, call 250-299-3363 or email kamloops. shoememorial@yahoo. ca.

Barn blankets

Urban Barn is holding its fourth annual Blanket the Country in Warmth campaign, which continues to Dec. 6.

For every $5 in-store donation, the outlet at 1210 Summit Dr. at the Columbia Place Shopping Centre will provide a new fleece blanket to Emerald

Centre, a co-ed shelter run by the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association on West Victoria Street.

The goal nationally is to donate 13,000 blankets.

The store is open Mondays to Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

8 TIME JUNO AWARD WINNER & MULTIPLATINUM RECORDING ARTIST

Reflect this season

Blue Christmas services will again be held in Kamloops this month.

The non-traditional, non-denominational services of prayer and reflection are aimed at those in the community grappling with loss, grief, depression or pain.

There will be a service on Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, at Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street.

A service will also be held on the North Shore, but a date and time have not yet been set.

Holiday help

Six local charities and organizations are taking part in the Christmas Trees at Doubletree event that opens on Friday and runs to Jan. 2.

The group — Kamloops Art Gallery, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, B.C. Wildlife Park, Kamloops YMCA-

YWCA, Inclusion Kamloops and Hockey Canada — will be decorating trees provided by Woodward Christmas Tree Farm and putting them on display at the St. Paul Street hotel.

Anyone from the public can vote for their favourite tree with a minimum $2 donation.

People who eat at the hotel’s Citrus Restaurant can donate 20 per cent of their bill total to a tree and those who buy a bottle of Privato wine at the adjacent liquor store will see 10 per cent of the cost applied to at tree.

Money raised goes to each organization.

Each has also been given $200 to pay for tree decorations.

Sponsor of the winning tree will win an appetizer reception at the hotel for up to 30 people.

CMHA funds

The Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association has benefitted from the success of the city’s Rexall drug store.

The agency has received $5,000 through the Rexall Foundation following a national competition earlier this year. Each store was challenged to take on fundraising efforts and the top store in each province received the foundation money to donate to their charity of choice.

The money will be used for a new youth program the agency will introduce in January.

The jagged peaks of the Superstition Mountains evoke images of cowboys and gold rush miners who lived here during the glory days of the Wild West.

Quaint churches and crumbling ghost towns help me visualize how life used to be for the ranchers, pioneers and the Apache Indians travelling along this trail in the Sonoran Desert.

We travel north to Sedona to complete our next hike to Cathedral Rock.

It is a well-known vortex location and the twisted trees, unique landscape and easy access make it a popular route.

The vertical red rock looks daunting and I begin to worry about my ability to ascend this trail with an elevation gain of over 180 meters.

However, despite the rock climbing at the end of the trail, it is surprisingly easy and the views from the saddle area below the

pinnacles are stunning.

After pausing to absorb the vortices’ energy, we leave the area feeling rejuvenated and energized.

To escape the crowds, we continue north to explore the Flagstaff area.

Fifteen miles east of Flagstaff on Navajo Nation land is Grand Falls.

The Navajo Nation region covers 27,000 square miles across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.

The landscape is eerily barren and the drive is bumpy and slow across rocky dirt roads.

Small herds of cows are seen on the horizon, but there are no people.

We arrive at this desolate location to discover the rugged trails down are unmarked and unmaintained.

Our remote off-road adventure is stimulating and looking over the sheer cliffs sets my heart racing.

I am struck by the magnificence of Grand Falls. There is no one at the bottom of the canyon and, in fact, not a single soul as far as the eye can see.

wellsgraytours.com

GETTING THERE Grand Falls: From Flagstaff, go north on Highway 89, right on Townsend-Winona Road, left at Leupp Road and left on Navajo Route 70.

We carefully attempt numerous descents, sliding on the loose rock each time, and eventually reach the bottom safely, clinging to rocks as we go.

Walking along the bottom of the canyon alongside the Little Colorado River, the shallow waters reflect the steep canyon walls and azure sky above.

I feel so small.

We arrive at a narrow point in the river where the options are to either get wet or go over a rocky hillock.

Having swum in Canyon Lake and knowing how cold the waters are, we both opt for climbing across the rocks.

When we finally get to the base of the falls, we have the entire area to ourselves and are surrounded by a desolate beauty that is worth our efforts.

Although the cascading water is scanty during our visit, the falls are, nevertheless, spectacular.

We enjoy our picnic as we sit facing the falls.

The changing hues of the wet goldand-ochre-limestone shimmer in the sunlight.

I snap image after image attempting to capture the true beauty

of this natural rock formation.

We explore the floor of the canyon, glad to have it all to ourselves.

Then, suddenly my friend draws my attention to something in the dirt — a very large cat’s fresh paw print.

I am chillingly aware that in addition to venomous Gila monster lizards, coyotes and bears, Arizona wildlife includes jaguars and mountain lions.

We look at each other and he says, “Do you realize we are the only readily available food source for miles?”

I laugh nervously.

It seems like a good time to leave.

The ascent is easier than expected.

My calloused fingers have become rather adept at rock climbing.

As we begin walking back to the car, I look back and pause for one more shot.

Yet, as I tuck my camera away, I realize my images will never fully capture the rugged beauty and true grandeur of our hiking adventure in Arizona.

Arizona hikers should include the rocky canyon, Grand Falls (above), and the jagged peaks of Superstition Mountains (below) in their treks.

WORD SCRAMBLE

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

FRIDAY, December 4, 2015

Too many festivities spoiled by drunk driving.

We all spend a lot of time organizing the perfect holiday party. Unfortunately, too many of these festivities are spoiled every year by the effects of drunk driving. Over the Christmas period, road accidents caused by this scourge are numerous as are the police road blocks which lead to a multitude of arrests for the same reason.

Planning some holiday cheer?

Call a deer!

250-372-5110

Hours of operation : 9:00pm - 3:00am December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, 26, & 31

Everyone deplores the thousands of deaths caused by drunk driving which occur every year in this country. The number of these dramas increase exponentially during the Christmas holidays when more visiting takes place and the opportunities of taking one glass too many increase. And this doesn’t even take into account the fact that drivers must deal with sometimes difficult, winter road conditions. Arrests for drunk driving also have many unpleasant consequences long after the pleasant fog of alcohol has disappeared.

City arborists were busy last week installing an interactive light installation, designed by Makerspace co-founder Aras Balali Moghaddam, in a downtown tree. The lights on the tree, at Victoria Street and Second Avenue, were specially designed to react to music, creating an animated show when an instrument is played. Musicians can plug their instrument into the setup or attach the provided piezo pickup to it. To learn how the installation was designed, go online to community.kamloopsmakerspace.com.

Every year, Canadian Pacific Holiday Trains travel through dozens of communities, collecting donations for food banks.

The event features a boxcar stage and a lineup of musical talent.

The two brightly lit trains started their journey in the Montreal area on Nov. 27 on their way to visit approximately 150 North American communities.

One is travelling west across Canada, finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam. The other is visiting communities across the U.S. northeast and midwest then returning back to Canada for shows in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The train will arrive in Kamloops Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. at the north side of the Sandman Centre on Lorne Street. It is recommended viewers arrive at least 15 minutes before the event start time to see the train pull in.

The concerts are free to watch, but attendees are encouraged to make a donation to the food bank — either a non-perishable food item or a cash donation. All contributions will stay in the community.

Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people attending events to bring “heart healthy” donations.

Heart health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North America.
